White City: a stunning and unforgettable historical crime novel by Dominic Nolan #joyce and displayed in Trafalgar SquareIt's 1952, and London is victorious but broken, a city of war ruins and rationing, run by gangsters and black market spivs. An elaborate midnight heist, the biggest robbery in British history, sends newspapers into a frenzy. Politicians are furious, the police red faced. They have suspicions but no leads. Hunches but no proof. For two families, it is more than just a sensational headline, as their fathers fail to return home on the day of the robbery.
